of animals u.k. authorities lash out a riot 20 offices rallies against a controversial police will. live on worldwide this is r.t. international from moscow my name's colin bright welcome to the program 1st. meeting with russia's covert vaccine developers to discuss ways of accelerating the rollout both domestically and also overseas what's more he stressed the strong safety record of russian shots compared to foreign rivals. probably the biggest news of the day here in russia and also a serious call threatens boost for those who are still worried about the

vaccination is the announcement from president vladimir putin that he is going to get the vaccine tomorrow that is going to be chouse day march 23rd but we don't know which of the 3 russian made vaccines registered in this country he has chosen and it looks like the kremlin doesn't want to reveal that in order not to give any preferences to any of the 3 manufacturers but mr putin has praised all of them saying all 3 russian vaccines are great so it moves today with full confidence we can say this something has been proven that russian vaccines are absolutely safe and effective none of the 4 an equivalence of the same level of protection once again this is a resounding success for domestic science and it's been recognized approved is the geographical adoption of disputing the vaccine is actively growing the russian

leader said that after providing the latest numbers on the vaccination in this country so far 6300000 russians have received the 1st component of the jab 4.3 are good to go with the complete 2 components now a broad 55 countries have approved the use of the v. although a lot of our pollutant is making it clear that for the russian government the mess the campaign to immunize the public for now is the number one priority in the meantime a senior european union official has battled back after saying last week that sputnik v. was one of the candidates for official use in the european union in his latest t.v. interview teary bread tone said that the blog. pretty much doesn't need sputnik via at all and sided issues with production pace in russia. we have absolutely no need for sputnik v. the russians are having

a hard time making it from the manufacturers of russian made sputnik he reacted to that statement almost immediately by accusing mr berg of being biased against just because it's russian they made it clear though that the only ultimate goal for them is to carry on saving more and more lives around the world the response from president putin also came quite quickly 1st he blamed some western officials and western media for leading a deliberate campaign to discredit russian made vaccines and also questioned the genuine goals of the people who make such statements issued in news that we're not forcing anyone to do anything but when we hear such comments from officials the 1st question that comes to mind is who do you serve do you represent the interests of pharmaceutical companies well to citizens of european nations what are you doing and these people are trying to lecture us so the bottom line is that despite what

the russian side is calling bias and attacks against russian vaccines moscow wants to accelerate the pace of the production and vaccination both at home and they're looking forward to that abroad as well some of that in mind hungary's top diplomat is calling on a huge regulators to approve a sputnik vapor after he personally received the russian vaccine in an interview with say the foreign minister explained why he thinks europe's inoculation campaign has faltered. the be. vaccine is not a question of ideology for us it is a matter of saving lives and if we had not contracted the chinese and the vaccine be gone have saved the health care added health and the lives of many hungry aryans the hungry a national regulator has approved the emergency use authorization for nukes so i had no answer i was the one. that asked by our

government to negotiate with the russians and the ration of purchasing when you after a long series of negotiations and we were able to sign our contract which. a lot in accelerating the vaccination in hungary. there are 2 ways you know europe according to european regulations how a baxi in ghana get approvals one day is definitely julienne 8 european medicines agency through a red sea org in the region a procedure but you will be in the regulations also say there's another way in case of emergency and these other they should be completed by the national regulators would use for the emergency even authorization so the fact that the hungary a national regulator has issue with emergency use or fraud offer a zation is nothing you know against their regulations and and that's what made us

a little bit fed up you know that the way hungary has approved this we knew it was going to do dirty in the western part of europe and in global media as if we have made something of gays or you're going to regulation which is which is not true you wrote the regulations say very clearly that in a case of emergency you can make such an. icon give you an explanation why e.m.e.a. is so slow of course of course i mean bureaucratic explanations can be given any time they can say that they they expect more documentation based by the russian look on their part to do the sound but i don't know what i see is what i see is that there are vaccines in the world which are used by millions millions of people russian or chinese but there are these are not authorized here in iraq you know once again europe i think exploration is going to be easy but not this is not about the represent this is about the lives of the people but more wrecks and you have

and the more people you're going to say but i think very simple at least we speak about it for sure. the decentralized procurement procedure managed by brushing has failed the spirit becomes that regardless of the promise of years and the expectations there are much less back scenes arriving and market share slower compared to what had been before why it became obvious that the shipments. managed and coordinated by brussels are not satisfactory we've around they're out there and by the same people by the same bureaucrats by the same politicians why we want to buy additional vaccines for our own people for our own people and i think this is a this is a matter of of obligation of the state of the government to protect the lives of

its own people are covered vaccines are also center stage in the use relations with the u.k. right now brussels has double down on its threats to block exports of a chronic delays in distribution we have the possibility to ban planned exports this is a message to astra zeneca you fulfill your part of the deal towards europe before you start to deliver to other countries it seems that the e.u. could be holding back on millions of vaccines that are due to be transported to the u.k. in the next if it takes that decision to suspend all facts in the next 2 being ok now the move present government ministers as you can imagine but also opposition party the labor party standing by u.k. government on this particular point of calling for calm from that. i would urge the european commission to calm down the language cool the rhetoric and that's try and work together to get through this crisis. what seems most bizarre is the fact that

this is a astra zeneca jobs coming to the e.u. or not enough and that's because there is a huge amount of mistrust in this particular vaccine just for example here in france it's so high that only 20 percent of people say that they have faith in that job and as we know over the last week 19 european countries decide this to suspend astra zeneca over fears of safety in regards to blood clots and despite the fact that the european medical sage and see as once again rubber stamped it that's not good enough for some e.u. countries who are still holding back and while on delay any new big wigs are talking about the idea of not getting enough astra zeneca day to stay here what they're not talking about is how many doses european countries are just sitting on millions and millions of doses that have yet to be used here now i also want to talk about what's happening in france because astra zeneca has been restarted as

a campaign again but there's new advice from the french health authorities here which means it can now only be used for over 50 five's completely different advice to what we had just a few weeks ago where president machen was saying that it was quasi effective for all their age groups and that some u.k. experts is causing a problem in undermining confidence it doesn't make any sense the whole thing looks completely crackers they're changing the rules almost every week they're really damaging people's confidence in vaccines generally they're sitting on a massive stockpile of vaccines that they haven't deployed yet and at the same time they've got a massive wave of the new variants coming across the country you could make it up. there's also a question about how much of this row is about the e.u. trying to deflect attention from how poorly it's handled this crisis something itself has admitted and of course let's not forget the u.k. was invited to join the joint procurement scheme with the e.u.

despite breaks it the e.u. politely declined and said we're going to do it our own way and as a result of that they speeding ahead with their vaccination program just to put that into context 51 percent of all adults in the u.k. have received at least one dose of a vaccine and compare that to around 10 percent here across the e.u. as a whole in the fake is really sort of paint a picture of how starkly different the campaigns are and some might say that this is now the e.u. throwing a bit of a tantrum and it's ready to throw the baby out with the bath water. the british government has condemned sunday night's rioting in the city of bristol with the home secretary describing it as thuggery police rounds were torched and 20 officers injured during a protest against a controversial bill to expand police powers. are and.

we've seen over the week protest. the legislation being introduced by the british government but many have refused the government of the time to try to crack down on people's ability to protest freely given the policeman the powers as to when and where people can demonstrate now of course a lot of this is taking place against the backdrop of the coded pandemic in their fear is that this legislation will be that's a long term if not permanent change so that the protests to in the south. yes the city of bristol last night was the evening wore on things became progressively more violent. clashes took place feed a number of the protesters and police away here in the center of bristol bridewell

police station where a number of officers 20 officers reinjured one suffering a punctured lung one with broken ribs and another with a broken arm so quite serious scene 7 arrests were made and it led to quite the patient of all those violent scenes from christmas all 170 degrees was one of the most of the morning to find that the legislation i have sparked this time in bristol. unacceptable scenes in bristol tonight sec or indeed by a minority will never be tolerated our police officers put themselves in harm's way to protect us all my thoughts this evening a with those police officers injured and now we see it already to say a clean up operation taking place the number of forensic police officers on the roof of the police station perhaps gathering evidence which though it's had to use to make more arrests in the coming days and weeks so we also spoke to a number of the locals here in bristol and many of them are supportive of the

rights for people to protest but perhaps some of them as well not very keen on some of the more violent scenes we saw last night but overall we can perhaps see this is something of forbearance of what is to come if the government doesn't try to limit people's right to protest peacefully as they've been accused by their critics. here without say on the way the humanitarian crisis unfolds on the united states southern border where thousands of unaccompanied children are being held in makeshift shelters with beds and sanitation in short supply right now it's our next story when we come back.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

hello again the united states is grappling with a severe migrant crisis on its southwestern border and a record $5000.00 on a company children are now being held in border patrol custody local authorities have run out of space to house them and many youngsters are being housed in cramped conditions and overflow facilities these images are from the city of donna in texas they were released by a democrat no make up it's one of several border shelters that are now running out around 16 times capacity how many children have been stranded there for at least 10 days sleeping and eating on floors border crossings from mexico are now at a 20 year record and it's presented a huge challenge for the biden ministration as caleb maupin now reports. well it does point we've got washington d.c. officials going back and forth about whether or not what's happening at the border

is really a crisis you've got biden promising that he will visit the border meanwhile we've got the border officials and leaders of the democratic party in congress urging the administration to get back to reality take their share of the blame for the policies that seem to have the momentum this crisis and really get a grip on what is happening you have a breach of national security levels that have never before been seen in modern history it just blows my mind how disconnected from reality they are or maybe they do know maybe they just don't want to call a spade a spade you know because it's uncomfortable it's a slap in the face i said hey i just want to let you know what's going on we need to get a handle on this before it gets to hand even within a week i was over to call in the white house to say hey guys you've got to take a look at it when you create a system that incentivizes people to come across and they are released that immediately sends a message to central america that if you come across you can stay while there are

big calls for the administration to get things under control and start responding to what many are calling a crisis it seems like the biden administration does not want there to be media access to what is happening on the border and the u.s. facilities that have been set up one journalist was quite outraged about the fact that he had to go to another country just to take photographs of what was happening here in the united states he had to stand on one side of the border. i respectfully ask u.s. customs and border protection to stop blocking media access to their border operations i have photographed c.b.p. under bush a bomb and trump but now 0 access is granted to media these long lens images taken from the mexican site until now u.s. faces journalists have needed to stand in another country to photograph what's happening in the united states how many will recall that while donald trump was

president so to graps of children held in facilities detention facilities that were set up during the obama administration were widely circulated and there was mass discussion and outrage about you know what they referred to in the media as kids in cages and there was widespread does that ing of the facilities your recall congresswoman alexandria kazuo cortez had a well publicized visit to the detention facility and there was widespread coverage but the biden administration seems to be rather adamant that it is simply not appropriate to give the media access and to publicize what is going on at the u.s. borders i don't necessarily think that it's appropriate for a journalist to be inside centers that are at that aren't are not permanent places for children that children are not placed there permanently now white house spokesperson jen psaki says that the biden ministration is very committed to what she calls trans parents sick it seems like when it comes to the situation at the

border it's much better to divert people's eyes and change the subject and try to avoid bringing attention to something that is to resolve a situation that many are referring to as a crisis. a federal judge in the u.s. has called on the supreme court to reconsider laws protecting the media from prosecution when commenting on a defamation case a lot of silberman claim the news outlets have become dangerous that a heavily skewed to one side of the political spectrum. the increased power of the press is so dangerous today because we're very close to one party control of these institutions the new york times and washington post virtually democratic party broadsheets nearly all television network in cable is a democratic party trumpet a democratic party trumpet i mean what an exaggeration it's not like they treated his inauguration as the 2nd coming of christ contrast on display the night was so

stark i mean those lights that are that are just shooting out from the lincoln memorial along the reflecting pool i love you like almost extensions of joe biden's arms embracing america well they were just excited when he was actually in the white house they saw this throwing the tough questions at him. not to michael in crisis the media's not about that but they did go wild of those where did c.g.i. hands or maybe they were just expecting the other president or president harrison i took a virtual tour of the vaccination center zone or i will admit though that seldom is what great in times of timing because remember that bombshell recording with donald trump pressuring elections investigated georgia to find him ballots he wouldn't have to move out of the white house while the recording revealed that the post misquoted trump's comments on the call based on information provided by

a source did not tell the investigator to find the fraud or say she would be a national hero if she did so instead transferred to the investigates to scrutinize ballots as in she would find dishonesty there. you will notice that establishment media errors missions mistakes and outright lie so we slant one way against me and against republicans meanwhile stories that heard democrats or undermined their narratives are buried ignored or delayed until they can do the least harm media outlets should be regarded as political entities not journalistic enterprise yes but that's just an exception because when it came to trump the washington post was very sad and honest and objective and balanced and anyway trump had fox news on his side always share leading yes i have heard how some democrats want cable companies to drop fox news one american news network on newsmax but maybe you shouldn't spread conspiracy theories no i'm not interested in what silberman said he should

be borne in mind that the 1st step taken by any potential tarion or dictatorial regime has to gain control of communications particularly the delivery of news it is fair to conclude therefore that one party control of the press and media is a threat to a viable democracy well that's a huge saturation no one watches the news anymore anyway it's all about social media just that one twitter not a democrat party trump it to be seen silicon valley also has an enormous influence over the distribution of news and it simply filters news delivery in ways favorable to the democratic party and although upstart conservative networks have emerged in recent years their visibility has been decidedly tailed by social media either by direct bans or content based censorship well that's not true what about policy would you mean apple amazon and google while i'm sure it was for

a good reason and as the censoring content yes that was the one time that twitter brought that one link to the new york post article about hunter biden's business dealings but it's a little like it was a big story that could've i don't know swayed an election and anyway there are other hard hitting stories to report on. some media pundits warn that that could trigger an assassination attempt so anyway it's a total mystery to me why faith in the u.s. media is an all time low. so let's talk to tara reid who's an author and a former u.s. senator a terrible come to our terry so judge silberman says the media is now a democratic party trump it isn't really. i was a lifelong democrat and i can tell you that right now it's being complicit. with

rape culture in america and you know as you may be aware 8 women came forward about joe biden's sexual misconduct and starting in 2102020 and there's been very little coverage and a lot of suppression in terms of what those private media companies can cover it's entirely up to them isn't it. i'm not really i mean they they must there is left media that tries to raise up stories like for instance ryan grimm is the person from the intercepts hugh brought forward my story and then a game momentum and of course it was covered in the new york times but what happens with powerful people like joe biden he spent $2200000.00 according to f.e.c. records on public relations to squelch stories that would be just favorable to him so i received either a little coverage or i was attacked my character was attacked and i see the same

tactic being used towards russia with anti russian propaganda and to tour its president putin himself in fact last week was very alarming for many american citizens when joe biden decided to formulate it attack on president putin verbal e by calling him an i won't even raise up the terms names that were at appropriate and definitely not furthering diplomacy and president putin you know you know a lion doesn't need to say he's a lion he just is i thought and many americans thought that his reaction was calm and cool and that's a relief because we don't want as american citizens to be at war with russia it's nonsense it's propaganda taught over the past 5 years donald trump and his team spent a lot of money over similar claims on this is not to say that 2 wrongs make a right hand but i would suggest that maybe it's rotten throughout the industry but

it's not particularly leaning one way or another. yes when you look at it dispassionately take emotions out of it our political system is being influenced by capitalism and it's kind of reach the empires kind of coming to a halt unless we focus inward and look at infrastructure and you know i think that like the remarks joe biden made last week we're distraction from domestic policies that are not being carried out because our infrastructure is so claxon we have so many people we have the highest poverty rate i think we've ever had 75 percent of our children are living in poverty or below the poverty line and the code that has exasperated that and you know of course on the border there's a lack of transparency so you have these corporate entities that own the media the only information. and i find it stunning when i see them criticize other nations about propaganda when actually we need to look inward and clean our own house and

both parties are complicit with raising up and rewarding predators like joe biden andrew cuomo. powerade former u.s. senator thanks for joining us on our team we have to leave ethics for a time thank you. that's it for now from the r.t. newsroom one called embrace by with your next update half an hour.
